DA candidate calls for investigation into Fitzpatrick's spending

Onondaga County District Attorney William Fitzpatrick's opponent today called on the state to investigate his campaign spending over the past 16 years.
Tina Bennet, the Democratic candidate for DA, asked the state attorney general's office to investigate based on a story in The Post-Standard on Friday. The story revealed that Fitzpatrick's campaign has been in violation of state election law by not disclosing how he'd spent the campaign's money.
Fitzpatrick's campaign treasurer, Barry Weiss, amended the election filings Thursday night at the request of the county Board of Elections. The new filing itemizes the most recent expenses for which Fitzpatrick was reimbursed.
